I'll be the first to admit that I'm shamefully ignorant of our country's rail history. I'm very much hopeful that some benevolent Railfans find my pages and leave some helpful comments. I'd be curious to learn more.

I’ve just found this site which looks very promising, I have a lifelong love of maps especially railway maps. I’m English and my knowledge of American railroads is more limited than I’d like but I’m belatedly attempting to remedy that. I do possess a map dating from 1909 of the entire American railroad system as it then was, it’s a British publication by Stanford & co. and also shows Canada and part of Mexico, it’s a prized possession.
Here’s a link to the Klondike Narrow Gauge ( go to the history page ) http://www.wpyr.com/
